Who writes 404 Memory Found

The site is written by a small team under pen names. We publish no photos or personal details of our writers, only their beats. Every post is researched from primary sources, which are listed at the end of the article.

Marcus Vale
Consoles, handhelds and PC hardware

Marcus covers the consoles, handhelds and PC hardware of the 90s and 2000s: what they cost, why they won or lost, and what became of the companies that built them.

Dana Reyes
The dot-com era and internet culture

Dana covers the dot-com era: the companies, the deals and the websites that shaped the early internet, and what actually happened to them after the headlines moved on.

Theo Lindqvist
Software, formats and the then-versus-now math

Theo covers the software, file formats and everyday gadgets of the era, and does the then-versus-now math on what things cost, how fast they were, and what replaced them.

How we research and correct

Every article starts from primary material: company filings, court records, contemporary newspaper reports, museum collections and the companies' own announcements. The sources we relied on are listed at the end of each post, and any figure we could not trace to one of them is left out rather than estimated. Posts carry their publication date and, when revised, an update date.

We write under pen names and publish no personal details about our writers. If you find an error, email hello@404memoryfound.com with the page and the source; corrections are made in the article and dated.

Machine-readable summaries of the whole site are available at /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt.
